1.Meeting of QuincyTownship Board
of Supervisors was called to order at 8:30 a.m. by Chairman Gunder. Corey Kaiser, Road Foreman and Jeff Connor,
Coroner were in attendance.

2.During the
initial public comment period, Jeff Connors addressed the Board. He discussed
taking photographs at the scene of an accident and who has the right to be at
the scene. He informed the Board that if
there is a death the coroner is in charge of the scene and it is declared a
crime scene at that point. Supvisor
Gunder inquired as to who makes that call to decide if a person is deceased.
Mr. Connors stated the EMT does in his absence. Also, that the EMT/Fire chief
has the right at that juncture to keep all persons away from the scene
including EMA persons from the Township. Supvisor Bumbaugh believes per NIMS rules and
regulations that the EMA is exempt from this policy. Mr. Connors also stated
that he doesn’t see any scenario whereby an EMA has to be at the scene and take
photos in the first 5 minutes. Supvisor
Gunder cited an example that a skid mark could be destroyed by cars arriving at
the scene and thus evidence destroyed in the first few minutes afterward. Mr. Connors seemed to dismiss this notion. Supervisors believe the Township has an
inherent duty to perform at the scene and to take photos of such evidence as
skid marks, etc. in case the Township is named in a law suit, which actually
has happened on Rte. 316. A long
discussion followed with the coroner informing that Board that he has no issue
with photographs being taken as long as the body has been removed from the
scene. Also if the Township would be involved in a law suit the coroner would
provide photos if they need it.

13.Supervisor Bumbaugh informed the Board that just
because there is a Right of Way along our roads, people cannot place signs in
them without asking the property owners for permission. A letter is to be
written to the local newspaper about
this issue.

14.Supervisor Gunder asked if second letter was sent to
Waynesboro Area School Board about combining the Tax Bureau and committee. He
was informed that the Secretary called and was informed by Mr. Dick that Chris
Lind would be giving Bob a call.

15.Supervisor Bumbaugh informed the Board that after all
the Right to Know requests we have received from one person that we now have
two appeals pending on the Right to Know requests. The Board had an executive
session with our Solicitor on Monday, April 13, with regard to possible
litigation on the Right to Know appeal. These appeals will continue to cause
the Township to incur more staff and counsel expense.

16.The Township has been purchasing materials for the
park concession facility and office supplies from online auctions to save the
Township money.

17.Supervisor Gunder has received a phone call from Blue
Rock Church requesting to use the park facilities on September 12, 2015 for
their festival. A Gunder/Bumbaugh motion approved the use by the church and
charging a minimal amenity fee for use of the park facility due to safety
concerns. If the concession facility is ready by that time, they may also use
it per the Fee Schedule policies. Motion
carried unanimously.

18.A Bumbaugh/Gunder motion approved changing the
Ordinance for our Tapping fee to make it that the fee can be amended when need
by Resolution instead of an Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously.

19.Supervisor Bumbaugh informed the Board that Joe, Jim
and Matt worked at the sewer plant last evening and will have overtime due to a
problem.
